1. What the law is
Israel's compassionate-use psychedelic program is often mistaken for psilocybin access. The 2019 program covers MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD. Psilocybin itself is scheduled under the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance, approved for no medical use and reachable only through clinical trials and exceptional Ministry of Health research routes. This entry rests on secondary reporting: we have not found an Israeli government source for it.
2. Trials in Israel
Interventional psilocybin trials with at least one site in Israel, as their sponsors filed them with ClinicalTrials.gov, EU CTIS and ISRCTN. Each row links to the registry record, which sets out who may take part.
Recruiting or opening counts trials recruiting now, not yet recruiting, or enrolling by invitation. Closed counts trials terminated, suspended, withdrawn or left unverified by their sponsors.

Israel's entry claimed a medical route that does not exist. Psilocybin is approved for no indication there and reachable only through clinical trials, so the status was corrected to illegal.
